Lateka Williams, LPC

Lateka Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. She approaches counseling as a place to express feelings and begin healing. Her work emphasizes seeing the whole person rather than just symptoms.

Williams draws on roughly eight years of counseling experience. She uses a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, and client-centered ideas to help people shift thoughts and behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies depending on what each person needs.

Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also helps with relationship and family issues, parenting strain, career transitions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Lateka lists aging and geriatric issues among her additional focus areas, along with hospice and end-of-life counseling and multicultural concerns.

Sessions are conversational and practical. She works with people on concrete skills for managing strong emotions, unhelpful thinking, and challenging life events. She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps between meetings.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session based on the therapist's availability. The counselor uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, with fees varying by location and availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. Online sessions using this approach prioritize what the person wants to work on and respond to their pace and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges and can include short exercises to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving interpersonal moments, and tolerating distress. It is practical and skill-focused, with clear steps a person can use outside the session.

Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style.

If you want to try online therapy here, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
